My only counter argument--trying to look at it from your perspective--is voting for/having Harris elected gives Dem reformers/ conservative GOPers like you a bit more certainly that the Republic is still standing for the reforms to be implemented. I've never felt "Trump is a danger to Democracy" hyperbole and think some version of J6th 2.0 is a real possibility. (Sadly I admit that having Trump's circle of insiders ruin the Republic, creates an opportunity for reformers to pick up the pieces and implement solutions that create a Republic for the digital age. BUT we may also be in jail.)
My thing is shifting power back to congress. Harris and Trump are two sides of the same coin. They don't understand the value of a republic and are not interested in conserving what makes this country great. Because of the hatred of red vs blue everything has become a game of power. The game plan is to move the power where it's most effectively wielded which is the executive branch. (This happens at the state and federal level) But that's dangerous no matter who is in charge.
